Controlling dyspnea in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients

Conclusion and recommendations: Application of dyspnea-management guidelines has enhanced patients’ knowledge of their disease, practice, as well as dyspnea and anxiety levels. Health instruction materials for COPD patients can be useful by means of providing simplified guidelines, explanatory videos, leaflets, and/or brochures to clarify, avoid, and manage dyspnea. An additional estimate of the outcome of instructions to avoid and improve dyspnea and distress reactions in a larger sample size is proposed.
